William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (c. 1790–1793) is his most celebrated prophetic book — a visionary prose-poem that inverts conventional morality, celebrates ‘Proverbs of Hell’, and attacks the repressive reason of Enlightenment orthodoxy. Lines like ‘The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom’ and ‘Energy is eternal delight’ have become part of the cultural fabric.
Part satire, part prophecy, part lyric poetry, the work defies easy categorisation. This free EPUB presents the complete text cleanly formatted and ready to read on any device.
